Temporary Shelters

[Madi92]

How this works? I built a worker camp far from the vilage. Then i built them the IITier Shelter, expecting the workers to change home. But they didnt, and new ppl came and they move to the shelter which is too far away for them.

Can i manually tell them to move to the shelter? Or how this works?

Should let them stay there or get water food rest in between instead of going home for that
No idea on distance needed or other things

For me I just built my temp shelter up on the way to where I wanted to get Iron mine built, a good distance from my starting area. Then after awhile people started to go there and fill it up and also work at the Iron place.

I just tried to test it.
I built a clay mine far from the vilage. I built a Temp shelter and watched. The shelter got stocked, but the mine workers still ran all the way back home to find food and stuff. So i dont know, what im doing wrong.

I check multiple times during the year and I'm just always seeing 4x "unfilled" slots.

Temporary Shelters are the emergency housing when villagers don't make it back in time during extreme conditions. It's not currently made very clear when they do get used, which we plan to improve on.

Maybe then offer a way to better house people working further away.
Maybe by offering a secondary smaller village center as a new central point.
I established a mining village but they also dont use the temporary shelter at all.
I now made a nice and cozy place, even with a pub, their own lumber, some food etc. but people who dont work there went into the houses.

And personally i think it would be cool to be able to create smaller villages connected to the city.

I agree with this. Would something nice to see in the future.

yeah the description does imply its emergency use, but its also implying it is a method to increase efficency of satelite operations

on another note maybe have the ability to change residents to other building or have the game optimize residents to their work sites

This was fully automated in the genre since "Banished" and would resolve a lot of issue in this game regarding decentralising. Devs should urgently focus on that.

The best improvement would be just being able to manually tell villagers where to live. Either that or make them more intelligent regarding choosing house nearer work. As is, the Temp Shelters are a useless waste of resources imo.

Unfortunately I had 3 empty shelters and 4 villages passed by them and ran out until they died in the snow. I tried clicking on and making it go in the shelter and while in the shelter he also froze to death and died. If they are freezing why dont they go home or into the shelter? Why are they running around town as if they are not dying of frostbite?

I had two run past there house and a shelter, it said they were stocking but they had food and firewood in their home and the shelter was full of food and firewood. No one entered the shelter they ran around "stocking" until they died and they had shoes, clothes, and a jacket with houses full of stuff.
